Bulletproof Coffee shop to debut in Santa Monica

Creator of the trendy brew makes it easy to grab a cup of butter java at his new shop.

After my one-week Bulletproof Coffee experiment last year, I took a short break and tried the coffee with added coconut oil and butter for one more week. I didn’t see enough of a change in my satiety and energy to continue to drink it. It just didn’t give me the instant, pleasurable satisfaction that my first sip of regular coffee does in the morning. I love that first sip; but not so much with this.

But enough people have gotten hooked on butter coffee that creator Dave Asprey is opening the first Bulletproof Coffee shop soon, according to the LA Times. Located in Santa Monica, California, the shop will sell coffee that contains single-origin coffee beans, butter from grass-fed cows, and a medium-chain triglyceride oil (often in the form of coconut oil). The reported benefits include better focus, more energy, satiety, low-sugar cravings and weight loss.
